Actress Gwyneth Paltrow spent her share of time immersed in country music while filming her upcoming movie here in Nashville. The film -- initially dubbed Love Don't Let Me Down and now called Country Strong -- has her playing a troubled country singer with Tim McGraw portraying her manager, and a host of local musicians and industry folks were also involved in its creation.

Also considering Paltrow's back story -- being married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin, having recorded Smokey Robinson tune "Cruisin'" with Huey Lewis for 2000's Duets movie -- it shouldn't be all that surprising that she's apparently showing up on the Country Strong soundtrack.

AOL's TheBoot.com notes that Paltrow is at the helm of the soundtrack/film's titular tune, with Vince Gill and Patty Griffin lending backing vocals. The song is expected to be the soundtrack's leadoff single, with the collection hitting stores in October.
